Camp Towhee Work Party!

Camp Towhee is our
Pacific Northwest Treasure! 

Our camp is located in the Mount Baker foothills near the Canadian border.
The 100 acre site features a spacious meadow with ancient glacial features, surrounded by an evergreen forest.

This camp is particularly special to our Northern Girl Scout Community, because it is right here at home!

There is always lot to do after winter
to get our camp ready for the camping season.


At Camp Towhee there is something for all ages.
Plant baby trees, spread wood chips, pick up sticks,
cut grass, repair the fairy place,
and trim brushes along the camp road.

Come for part of the day or come for all of the day.
This is a great way to see our local camp!

This is a great event for your whole family! Bring your friends!
